Ilve Titanium Series

DON'T BUY – Cannot simmer on low, if you turn down the gas it goes out. Oven cooks unevenly and you cannot rely on previously used cooking times. Oven stays warm after cooking, this is the only plus, thats why I gave it two stars instead of one. Show details

Flashback burned marks – I recently purchased TitaniumT90CLMP/I ILVE Cooker and very disappointed that the stainless steel flashback has now the burned stain appearance. I had a large pot cooking on the back burner with the flame on medium. After finished cooking for only about 30 minutes and noted the flashback has the burned marks on it. There is no where in the… Read more ·  3

introduction manual that I can’t use a big size pot on the back burner. I think it is the design fault. I am sad that my stove does not look pristine anymore.

Very happy, great oven – We bought the Ilve Titanium T90CLMPS, 4 years ago, and absolutely love it. For a family of six it gets very regular use. Very happy with the size of the oven especially for those bigger occasions. we cook arrange of breads, roasts and sweets and cant't really fault it. We read some good and bad reviews at the time of purchase and in hindsight have… Read more

no regrets and realise now a lot of reviews focus on the bad experiences. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another in the future. P

Cheap Stainless Steel Quality – The Oven itself is fine.The Material that is used is Garbage and cheap built.The Stainless quality is poor Quality and inside the oven all the shelving is rusted.You pay good money to get a high end oven but it turns out to be rubbish probably made in China.I wouldn’t recommend a ILVE oven.  Show details

Expected better – We have owned this oven for almost 2 years, my husband says it is the worst oven we have ever owned and it does have design problems: - the capacity is meant to be 90, as it is a double oven it is meant to be 60/30 but the 60 is actully smaller than that inside and my standard size pans and trays do not fit - steam is a real issue when baking,… Read more

it is meant to be a moist oven but ventelation is poor so when roasting or making a stew the steam collects, condenses and turns into water which then drips out and pools on the floor

- the gas burners do not go to a low enough temperature for slow simmering

On the plus side apart from the above it is otherwise very functional, cooks welll and is easy to clean and ilve after service is great.

But would I buy this oven again - no

Nothing but problems – Despite researching for weeks, I ended up with this lemon of an oven. First, the burners are fiddly to light, especially the back ones. I have to move pots off of the burners, blow on the burners or else they don't light. The timer stopped working, the left hinge on the door is wonky, and now there is this horrible screeching noise from the fan… Read more

as the oven cools down after cooking. An oven which is incapable of turning out a nice crisp skin on a chicken, I might add. The numbers I was given for customer service when I purchased this don't work any more, and the company that fixed other problems in the past don't service ilve any more either. DO NOT buy an ilve. Any brand would be better than this.

Sold the house and miss the Oven – Whilst I agree with some of the other reviews overall I loved this oven and now miss it madly! Sold our house and now look back at what were the minor annoyances of this product and feel I had it good after all :). There was a minor issue with the gas being blown out too easily and I felt the control markings were too hard to see (had to put my… Read more

glasses on) but I cooked some amazing food both in the oven and on the cooktop and since I'm yet to find "The Perfect" any appliance I felt this was as close to perfect as I will ever get. Funny thing was when I got down and cleaned it within an inch of it's life I discovered the warming draw with the stainless steel cover that I had known about at time of purchase and then completely forgot - wish I'd used it just once!

Intend to build a house next year and another Ilve is at the top of my list.

Over it – We bought our Ilve in 2007. Always have trouble with lighting the gas and can never get heat low enough to simmer anything without the flame going out. What we find hard to tolerate though,is that we are now replacing the oven control switch for the second time. We hardly use the electric oven because the heat is so uneven to cook in. .Just… Read more

totally over replacing the oven control switches which are also an expensive item. Looks OK For the price we paid, we expected a much better quality product that would perform reliably as an oven and gas cook top should.

Terrible – the model is JC906WMP/I 900 cm upright 6 burner gas hob ilve. It was purchased from Clive Peters Aspley Queensland after one week the LED lights and display has failed. front gas hob will not light.

Excellent – i think that ilve is a fantastic product, this model has good safety features i.e. flame cut out and the door is very cool to touch. the oven works great and i am comfident to explore a vast range of recipes because i know the results are there! i have owned ilve in the past and have just bought the model, i wont own antyhing else i wanted a 60cm cooktop with two wok burners... this only has one
